Lazy Saturdays

10am~ What is better than sleeping in? Waking up to my boyfriend in my onesie pouring us some grapefruit juice and preparing breakfast :P. He is the biggest goof ever but I love him for this- he definitely made my morning a little bit brighter... especially since we found out that my microwave may or may not be slightly broken-- it took us 6 minutes to cook oatmeal that takes 3 minutes!!

Although the oatmeal took longer (we probably could've just put it on the stovetop!) it was made wonderfully and enjoying the FN Chocoholic special was definitely a good morning! Plus, the PARENT TRAP was on! Bill even put a little nutella in mine. I don't know if you are catching on- but I obviously love chocolate. Chocolate is like...my life. Yup...you can say that since I will probably end up becoming a Chocolatier! Anyways...today I need to really focus on studying because next week is my hell week :[ So I prepared my snack and lunch for the day!

Some helpful tips!

1. ALWAYS PACK A LUNCH! Almost anywhere you go...everything is going to have grains and wheat in it...and you need your carbs to stay focused when you have a long day of studying!

2. Put your dressing in a separate bowl! You don't want your salad to get soggy!

3. When you're going to be out for a long time...never underpack. Either way, you are going to be tempted with food and why not be tempted with food that you know won't have gluten in it/won't be contaminated AND food that is healthier?! :]

When I got home from walking in the treacherous snow...I was freezing. So I decided to treat myself to some homemade treats I made :] They were surprising moist (for a gluten-free recipe!) and the agave really helped sweeten these. These can make a superb breakfast treat or an after dinner treat. I made 3/4 of my batter into a loaf and it was so YUMMY. If you would rather have a loaf, change your baking temp to 350 and bake for 30-40 minutes. Here's the recipe to my fabulous Sweet Agave Carrot Muffins!
